More light and shadow photos from 2015. Look closely -- do you see the small dewdrop in the shadow of the largest one? The shadow of seeds flying away from the dandelion head -- and the seeds? All four dragonfly wings? The shadow of a leaf on a leaf? The "shadow" of a leaf long since gone?

Continuing this retrospective of 2015, with the Light and Shadow theme, I'm very glad to be enjoying these memories of spring and summer sunshine in the warmth of my study. There was sunshine today, but the high was under 10 degrees Fahrenheit -- not the best temperature for camera work.

One last round on this retrospective of 2015 images that are Catching the Light, with photos from November and December -- a leaf from the Japanese maple at the peak of color, just before the leaves fell; a milkweed seed; maple keys; red-tail hawk; Advent wreath.
